Which of the following nano satellites developed by ISRO serves as the India-Bhutan Joint Satellite mission?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → INS-2TD
INS-2TD is a nano satellite of ISRO launched on PSLV-C52 on 14 February 2022. ISRO describes it as a technology demonstrator and the precursor to the India-Bhutan Joint Satellite (INS-2B, launched in November 2022). Its thermal imaging camera gives land and water surface temperatures and maps vegetation.
Note: This ‘current affairs’ question is about a satellite launched in February 2022, more than four years before this May 2026 paper. For a student a 2022 launch is already old news; NTA’s current affairs desk seems to have missed the countdown.
